In All Kinds Of Weather Forecast: A Florida Gators podcast

We finally have some upcoming football games to talk about after back to back bye weeks! For the occasion, we brought along Sports Illustrated's Florida Gators beat writer, Zach Goodall, to set the scene and talk about what he's liked from Florida so far, as well as where the Gators could improve. And of course, to preview the upcoming game against Missouri.

The Forecast team breaks down and analyzes a crazy week for Gator football to start the show, and then the topic turns to where the Gators stand at the present moment. That's when Dustin takes on Neil and Casey in by far the most heated debate among the three co-hosts in the show's young history...

Former Gator punting legend Johnny Townsend joins us this week to talk about the life of a special teamer, as well as the growing impact special teams is having on the game of football. We also discuss a Florida-LSU series that's been defined by special teams plays, and preview the rivalry's upcoming chapter. *DISCLAIMER* this episode was recorded, edited and published prior to any news being released about a COVID-19 outbreak within Florida's program, and thus any announcements of a postponed game; because of this, these topics were not discussed in the episode and the Florida-LSU game was discussed as though it was set to be played as scheduled. However, Johnny gave us our time, and our discussion was much broader than just the upcoming game on Saturday. Therefore, regardless of what winds up happening to the Florida-LSU game on October 17, this is still at least a relevant discussion that we feel was worth publishing at this time. We kindly ask that you listen with that in mind, and we thank you for understanding.

Florida's offense played well enough to beat Texas A&M, but the defense let the team down in College Station as the Aggies upset the 4th ranked Gators, 41-38. Dustin and Neil break down what went wrong, and brainstorm potential fixes as the Gators approach the meat of their schedule.

The Florida Gators are going to see a familiar face on the opposing sideline on Saturday when they take on Texas A&M: former FSU coach Jimbo Fisher. So Neil called on an old friend of his own, Texas A&M beat reporter (and fellow Jersey boy!) Mike Lucas, to break down the Aggies and give his thoughts on Saturday's matchup.

Florida took care of business against South Carolina in its 2020 home opener. But the Gators still showed that they have some work to do if they want to become a championship caliber team. And that is, after all, what fans believe is the goal this season.

The Gators began their season with a 51-35 victory on the road at Ole Miss, a victory in which there was a lot to like and a lot more to work on. The In All Kinds Of Weather Forecast crew breaks it all down, both positives and negatives alike, and previews Florida's upcoming game against South Carolina and former boss Will Muschamp.

Happy game week! We finally have a college football game to talk about, and to mark the occasion, we brought on former Ole Miss wide receiver Shay Hodge. In addition to previewing the season opening game between Florida and Ole Miss, we also reminisced about his playing days for the Rebels- including his fateful 86 yard touchdown catch to shock the Gators in the Swamp in 2008- and learned more about Florida signee Diwun Black, who Shay has taken under his wing and helped become the man he is today.

Last week, former Gator tight end Ben Troupe joined us to set the table for the Florida Gators' 2020 season in our episode, "Rallying the Troupes." Today, the 2003 All-American returns to the In All Kinds Of Weather Forecast for our official season preview episode as Ben, Neil and Dustin make some predictions. Among them: breakout players to watch for, keys to the offense and defense, score predictions for each of Florida's ten games on the 2020 schedule and projections for the SEC Championship Game and College Football Playoff. *Disclaimer: CFP projections were made prior to the Big Ten's revote on the 2020 season.

With Gator football less than three weeks away, former Florida All-American tight end Ben Troupe joined the In All Kinds Of Weather Forecast to discuss the various challenges of preparing for a season unlike any the world has ever seen. With all the adversity the Gators currently face, from a lack of spring practice, to a unique ten game SEC schedule, to the continued cries for racial equality, how do these players best prepare themselves to uphold the Gator Standard?
